I've got a PIII 650 that loves to do 1000 (154MHz fsb) at 1.9v. The only problem is is that the temp readings (taken from within the BIOS) are extremely high- ~65-72c. This doesn't seem right at all. I've got good contact between the core and the heatsink with Arctic Silver, and from touching the heatsink, it doesn't even feel warm. When I take a temp reading with SiSoft Sandra, it reads 44c which seems reasonable, but still high. Are the BE6-II boards known to have this problem? This is the first PIII system I've ever owned and I'm not sure what reasonable operating temps are. From what I've read, shouldn't a PIII 1GHz run much cooler than an Athlon 1GHz? The temp readings on this mobo seem to disagree...
